Explain Newton’s 3 laws of motion by using the example of a rollercoaster?

1 answer:

5 0

Newton's First law states the Law of Inertia. The Law of Inertia says that an object at rest must stay at rest unless an applied force is acted upon it. Roller coasters run by this law, they must be pulled by a motor to get started. ... At ride will continue until another opposite force is applied to the ride, the breaks.

Alona [7]

Answer:

u = 10.63 m/s

h = 1.10 m

Explanation:

For Take-off speed ..

by using the standard range equation we have

$R = u² sin2θ/g$

R = 9.1 m

θ = 26º,

Initial velocity = u

solving for u

$u² = \frac{Rg}{sin2\theta}$

$u^2 = \frac{9.1 x 9.80}{sin26}$

$u^2 = 113.17$

u = 10.63 m/s

for Max height

using the standard h(max) equation ..

$v^2 = (v_osin\theta)^2 -2gh$

$h =\frac{(v_o^2sin\theta)^2}{2g}$

$h = \frac{(113.17)(sin26)^2}{(2 x 9.80)}}$

h = 1.10 m

Astronauts use a centrifuge to simulate the acceleration of a rocket launch. The centrifuge takes 40.0 s to speed up from rest t

Vinvika [58]

Answer

Time period T = 1.50 s

time t = 40 s

r = 6.2 m

Angular speed ω = 2π/T

= $\dfrac{2\pi }{1.5}$

= 4.189 rad/s

Angular acceleration α = $\dfrac{\omega}{t}$

= $\dfrac{4.189}{40}$

= 0.105 rad/s²

Tangential acceleration a = r α = 6.2 x 0.105 = 0.651 m/s²

b)The maximum speed.

v = 2πr/T

= $\dfrac{2\pi \times 6.2}{1.5}$

= 25.97 m/s

So centripetal acceleration.

a = $\dfrac{v^2}{r}$

= $\dfrac{25.97^2}{6.2}$

= 108.781 m/s^2

= 11.1 g

in combination with the gravitation acceleration.

$a_{total} = \sqrt{(11.1g)^2+g^2}$

$a_{total}= 11.145 g$

The work function for tungsten metal is 4.52eV a. What is the cutoff (threshold) wavelength for tungsten? b. What is the maximum

Tanya [424]

Answer: a) 274.34 nm; b) 1.74 eV c) 1.74 V

Explanation: In order to solve this problem we have to consider the energy balance for the photoelectric effect on tungsten:

h*ν = Ek+W ; where h is the Planck constant, ek the kinetic energy of electrons and W the work funcion of the metal catode.

In order to calculate the cutoff wavelength we have to consider that Ek=0

in this case h*ν=W

(h*c)/λ=4.52 eV

λ= (h*c)/4.52 eV

λ= (1240 eV*nm)/(4.52 eV)=274.34 nm

From this h*ν = Ek+W; we can calculate the kinetic energy for a radiation wavelength of 198 nm

then we have

(h*c)/(λ)-W= Ek

Ek=(1240 eV*nm)/(198 nm)-4.52 eV=1.74 eV

Finally, if we want to stop these electrons we have to applied a stop potental equal to 1.74 V . At this potential the photo-current drop to zero. This potential is lower to the catode, so this acts to slow down the ejected electrons from the catode.
